A month and a bit on from my New Year post, the whole ‘watch more old anime’ goal isn’t quite going according to plan. So, time for another blog poll! Because the thought that my readers might be eagerly waiting to hear my thoughts on a series should provide the motivation I need… whether anyone is actually interested or not is neither here nor there. 😛

To start off this year’s game reviews, we have Wizardry 8! Despite there being seven games before it, two of which were part of the same ‘Dark Savant trilogy’, this is the first one I’ve played. I have watched the 1991 OVA based on the first game, though – suffers from the usual pacing issues resulting from squeezing a full story into 50 minutes of animation, but I’d recommend it to fantasy anime and RPG fans regardless.

ANYWAY, back to the review, which suffers from the usual issues resulting from squeezing a full game into ~500 words…

Two weeks into 2019 already… better get this posted before I forget what I watched last year! 😛

I watched far fewer anime series last year than normal, in order to make time for gaming, so I had a much smaller selection to choose from. That said, I was a lot more picky about what I did pick up each season, and the ones that made the cut were (mostly) very good, so it hasn’t made my selections all that much easier. Here’s what I eventually came up with:

There’s not much time left this year, but I guess I should share my thoughts on the Autumn season before my Top 12 series of 2018, to avoid potential spoilers. 😛 I can’t guarantee I’ll have the time to put that list together tomorrow, but I’ll try my best~

Ending theme list time! As ever, Youtube links (to the TV version of the song with animation where available) are in the titles~ [EDIT] Including #2 now, my bad!

I usually end up preferring EDs to OPs for whatever reason, could be the different tone that they usually bring (often less energetic and introductory, more sombre and concluding… if that even makes any sense)? This year is an exception, I’d say the openings just about win, but as this list will hopefully show, there were some good ending themes too!
